Umkhuleko wocela ukuvikelwa ezitheni
Kumholi wokuhlabelela; indlela: Ungachithi; elikaDavide; iMiktamu*, mhla ebalekela uSawule emphandwini
1Yiba-nomusa kimi, Nkulunkulu; yiba-nomusa kimi.
Ngokuba umphefumulo wami uphephela kuwe;
ngifuna ukukhosela ethunzini lamaphiko akho,
zize zidlule izinhlupheko.
2Ngizakukhala kuNkulunkulu oPhezukonke,
kuNkulunkulu ongifezelayo.
3Uyakuthumela esezulwini, angisindise
mhla ofuna ukungigwinya ekloloda. Sela*.
UNkulunkulu uyakuthuma umusa wakhe neqiniso lakhe.
4Umphefumulo wami uphakathi kwezingonyama;
ngilala kwabavutha umlilo,
abantwana babantu abamazinyo abo ayimikhonto nemicibisholo,
abalulimi lwabo luyinkemba ebukhali.
5Phakama, Nkulunkulu, phezu kwezulu,
inkazimulo ibe-phezu komhlaba wonke.
6Izinyathelo zami bazibekele ugibe;
umphefumulo wami ugobile;
bembile igebe phambi kwami,
kwakhalakathela bona kulo. Sela*.
7Inhliziyo yami iduduzekile, Nkulunkulu; inhliziyo yami iduduzekile;
ngizakuhlabelela, ngihube.
8Vuka, mphefumulo wami; vukani, lugubhu nehabhu*!
Ngizakuvusa ukusa.
9Ngizakukubonga, Nkosi, phakathi kwabantu,
ngikudumise phakathi kwezizwe.
10Ngokuba umusa wakho mkhulu kuze kube-sezulwini,
nokuthembeka kwakho kuze kube-semafwini.
11Phakama, Nkulunkulu, phezu kwezulu,
inkazimulo yakho ibe-phezu komhlaba wonke.
